With a North Shore history dating back to the late 1930s, Hackney's has grown to six restaurants, all known for the hefty Hackneyburger. One-half pound of oval-shaped beef, sporting a crusty exterior, is situated upon fresh rye bread and served with fries, slaw and raw or grilled onions. Utensils may be in order to sufficiently consume this ode to an American classic. Many choose a side of the signature french-fried onion rings that are served in a hot, crispy loaf. Not in the ''moo'' for a burger? There are daily specials such as hot turkey served with rich mashed spuds, stuffed chicken, comfort-inducing potpie and fried walleye and lake perch. Serving so many burgers (about five tons of beef per week) to countless numbers of diners over the years means fairly streamlined, prompt service. Hackney's on Harms features a cheery outdoor patio under soaring poplar trees for warm weather dining. -- Jacky Runice

greasy burgers
AFREE1021 - 01/23/2009
most restaurants grill hamburgers. hackneys unless told otherwise
deep fry their burgers. this produces a tasty greasy burgerAdd CommentNot all that great
Lamb4him - 01/15/2009I used to go when I first moved down from Milwaukee. Lately I went back for their burger and onion rings and I noticed that the onions are sooooo greasy. I haven't been back and don't plan to go back.
They don't make them like this anymore
chuch1219 - 07/28/2008We love love love this place. It's like a little country place in the middle of the burbs. Usually get a burger on dark rye but also think reuben might be best around. Patio is beautiful. Those trees must older than the restaurant.
No other like it!
ASK FOR ED - 07/26/2008Just went the other night and had wonderful service and delicious food. Sitting on their patio under the stars - nothing compares! Definitely will be back.
Good, but not great
CPeters1128 - 07/06/2008Hackney's is to burgers what Olive Garden is to pasta. If you're looking for a good meal Hackney's will suffice, but it's not unique enough to be spectacular. The best burgers, and any other kind of sandwich for that matter, require unique ingredients/toppings to be the best. Hackney's is not adventurous enough for the "Best in Town" title, but it is a place worth going to.

Best in Chicago!!
JRos289794 - 06/30/2008Reasonable, casual, great staff - Offering more than burgers - now
salads and other bill of fare - Go for it!!!Used to be a lot Better
KCFerg - 06/27/2008Onion loaf is still great, but the burgers are pretty small. Not really worth it anymore.
Not so great and stinky
Gus to us - 06/27/2008The burgers are okay, have only been to the one in Lake Zurich, there is such a horrible musty smell in the restaurant, that it is hard to really concentrate on the food. Will never go back because of the musty smell.
Tradition
Rentfordproperty - 06/27/2008If you haven't tried Hackney's, it's a must. The Onion loaf started their popularity and many other restaurants probably copie the Onion loaf using many different styles. The hamburgers, so so....Need improvement, but atmosphere great and a nice cold glass of beer is the way to go......
